LAWRENCE, MA - On April 19th, Lawrence fire alarm began receiving calls for a fire on Kress St.
Companies arrived to find heavy fire showing from the third-floor extended into the cockloft. A second-alarm was struck, bringing in additional manpower to the scene and to cover the city. Command struck a third-alarm and then numerous special calls due to water pressure issues in the area.
Companies were drawn out of the building due to the heavy volume of fire. Companies remained defensive until the heavy volume of fire was knocked down by multiple master streams and hand lines.
